FIFA clears Argentina of Falklands song controversy after match against Egypt
FIFA, the International Federation of Football Associations, has confirmed that it will not take disciplinary action against the Argentina national team following their celebration after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup. During the celebration, players were seen performing the song "The Fourth Star," which contains a reference to the Malvinas Islands, sparking controversy. Argentina achieved a dramatic 3-2 victory over Egypt after being two goals down until the 78th minute, continuing their campaign to defend their world title. It is worth noting that the song, which talks about the dream of winning a fourth title and praises Messi and Diego Maradona, includes a reference to the Malvinas Islands issue, a topic that stirs historic sensitivities between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
